Trump's USA

Trump's State of the Union
Sources: Trump urged to name officials

Bill Pulte, acting director of national intelligence, urged Donald Trump to name the officials accused of covering up alleged election interference in his State of the Union address. But according to senior sources to Politico, he later withdrew the proposal.

The proposal sparked intense discussions in the White House. According to Politico sources, there was concern that a public release would take the focus off Trump's overall message and could put the named officials at risk.

- He trolled the president and then became terrified when he realized that people could die as a result of his irresponsible actions, says a source.

The future of the Democrats
The Democrat's rising star could become a presidential candidate

Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff has quickly become seen as one of the favorites to become the party's next presidential candidate, writes DN. In recent months, he has been noticed for his harsh criticism of Donald Trump and the corruption that he believes the president is engaged in.

According to the TV channel KCAU, Ossoff has caught the eye of both Democrats who want to find the "right tone" for the midterm elections this fall and those who are aiming for the presidential election in 2028.

On the betting company Polymarket's odds list of likely Democratic presidential candidates, Ossoff is in third place, close behind Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The list is topped by California Governor Gavin Newsom. 

Midterm elections in the US

The plan for the election: Voters should “hate the Democrats”

The Republicans’ strategy for the midterm elections in the US is to make voters “hate the Democrats”. It will be a “hate campaign”, says a Republican with insight into Donald Trump’s campaign.

– Voters need to hate the Democrats more than they hate us. And we have material to work with, says the source.

At the same time, there is frustration among several Republicans that Donald Trump has focused more on the war in Iran, which has led to higher gas prices and fueled inflation, than on economic issues such as the tax cuts the party has pushed through.

Trump’s speech to the nation about the alleged 2020 election fraud has done little to allay that concern, writes Axios. 

Opinion poll: Trump's message is not working

Donald Trump hopes that his speech about the alleged election fraud in 2020 will contribute to Congress passing the controversial "Save America" ​​election law, Axios reports.

The hope is also that it will get the Republican voter base to go to the polls.

But according to Republican pollsters and other experts outside the White House, the message falls flat.

- We've studied this, and it's not working. Our surveys show that voters want the president to make their lives better, and they don't think he has done that, a Republican pollster who works with several campaigns tells Axios.

According to the pollster, data shows that the Democrats can take a majority of seven seats in the House of Representatives. At the same time, data shows that the Democrats have weak confidence numbers, something the Republicans are expected to exploit.
